Sounds like puffery to me.
Yay! Ohio.
Yay! Ohio.
It's not me, it's someone else.

First of all, no state in the union has ever run a tourism campaign like Michigan's Tim Allen voiceovers. Absolutely brilliant. Easily one of the top 5 marketing campaigns ever created. Credit where it's due.
Secondly, Ohio's campaigns have always sucked ass. "The Heart of it All" was probably their best attempt and that was mid. It was just the slogan and some scenery shots.
1. Put-In-Bay is ranked as one of the top party islands on the planet.
2. Cedar Point has held the title of "World's #1 Amusement Park" multiple times and has broken numerous world records.
3. Toledo: Glass capital of the world. Home of Jeep. #11 on the Soviet nuke list. The largest port on the Great Lakes. The only world famous minor league baseball team, the Mud Hens. The only local brand of hot dogs that are world famous, Packos. (Nathan's are world famous, but I'd argue a national brand.) Multiple championship and pro coaches for various sports, like both Harbaughs, Urban Meyer, Jim Leland, Jerry Glanville, etc.
4. I can't do these lists for the other cities, but Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus outrank Toledo in population. Columbus is routinely in the top growing cities in the U.S. for population, business, etc.
5. THE.
6. I believe the most presidents have come from Ohio? 7?
7. Pro Football HOF
8. Rock and Roll HOF
9. Birthplace of the NFL. You're welcome.
10. First ever MLB team was founded in Ohio. Sorry about that.
11. Lots of movies have been filmed here and their sets are tourist traps now like the Mansfield prison (Shawshank) and the house in Cleveland (A Christmas Story). Ohio also has some pretty good deals for filmmakers, but I don't think they rival GA's. Still, I know one of the Avengers movies shot scenes in Cleveland.
12. A fuckton of famous people are from Ohio. Way too many to list.
13. Hawking Hills in SW Ohio are pretty awesome. There are very cool places to stay.
14. Most of western Ohio is farmland. You're welcome.
15. Hanger 18 is here at Wright-Patterson AFB outside Columbus. Yes, that hanger 18.
16. I've gotten laid there a LOT. If you haven't, well, that's a you problem.
In 4 minutes I've composed a better list than whatever dipshits put together the commercial you saw. Ohio is apparently the Mike Tomlin of hiring advertising agencies.

Yay! Ohio.
You live in NC. People in glass houses and whatnot. 
Yay! Ohio.
We have mountains and a real beach. lol. We're not the butt of national jokes.
It's not me, it's someone else.
Yay! Ohio.
Because nobody cares about NC. It's not relevant.

I vacation in NC though. The Mud Hens is not a vacation destination! You list things that are good about Ohio, but not reasons to visit there.
Don't you have some caves? Although, those might be more tourist trappish than vacation destinationy. Isn't Hocking Hills in Ohio? The HOF's you have could be on the list. I mean, I have to assume the HOF's are bigger draws to Cleveland than the Christmas Story house.
It would be HARD to advertise Ohio as a vacation destination. Plenty of day trips, but full on family vacation? That commercial fell WAY short.
The commercial opens with the dad handing his little girl a dart and saying "Wherever it lands, that's where we're going!" The girl hits Ohio.
She responds "OHIO!!" with the naivete that comes with being 8 years old.
The dad, and I swear this is real, looks dead in his eyes when he tries to match his girl's excited "OHIO!".
They couldn't even find an actor that could act excited about going to Ohio!

Cedar Point alone gets more visitors, who want to go there, than your entire state.

Except that 90% of them are already in Ohio. I would argue that Michigan brings in more Ohioans than the reverse. How many Michiganders have places in Ohio where they like to spend their weekends.
Yay! Ohio.
CP is way beyond your expectations. People from all over the world are there daily.
But yeah, of course Ohioans go up to Michigan to relax. 1. Our population is actually employed and needs to get away. 2. You're our conquered territory.

I assure you that there are people where you go who also go elsewhere. Everyone's vacation is away from where they live, and people live everywhere.
Also, I was up at the lake this weekend. Boring as fuck. If I have to be in the sun, I'd rather be on a beach in the Caribbean. I'd go to Hedonism, but I don't want to run into Catt.
